Same day emergency contraception, in Carindale.

With emergency contraception, every hour counts. That’s why Carindale Doctors holds back same-day appointment slots each morning for urgent needs like this. If you call early, you can usually be seen the same day, often within a few hours, by a GP who will help you choose the most effective option for your timing.

Your appointment is quick and confidential. Your GP will confirm when unprotected sex or contraception failure happened, check any health factors, and then prescribe or provide emergency contraception straight away where appropriate. If you’re near the five-day limit, we’ll explain which options are still effective so no time is wasted.

Delays reduce how well emergency contraception works. These are the most common reasons people wait:

• Not being sure it's needed: if in doubt, it's worth asking a GP or pharmacist.
• Weekends: we're closed on weekends, so a pharmacy is your quickest option then.
• Embarrassment: our GPs see this every week, and the visit is confidential.
• Thinking it's too late: some options work up to five days after sex.

Acting quickly gives you the most options and the best protection.
